Acknowledging the consolidation of citizen science, this paper aims to foster a collective debate on two visible gaps of the field. First, how to overcome the limited participation of social sciences and humanities in the broader field of citizen science, still dominated by natural sciences. Second, how to develop a citizen social science that allows for an active participation of citizens and for a critical engagement with contemporary societies. The authors coordinate a state-sponsored program of scientific dissemination within a Portuguese research institution and this paper intends to lay the groundwork for a future project of Citizen Social Science based on a new concept of “engaged citizen social science”.

从事公民社会科学或社会科学研究的公众参与

承认公民科学的巩固，本文旨在促进对该领域两个明显差距的集体辩论。首先，如何克服社会科学和人文学科在更广泛的公民科学领域的有限参与，仍然以自然科学为主。其次，如何发展一门允许公民积极参与并与当代社会进行批判性接触的公民社会科学。作者在葡萄牙研究机构内协调了国家资助的科学传播计划，本文旨在为基于“参与的公民社会科学”的新概念的公民社会科学未来项目奠定基础。
